On the main road. Only a mile from home but six miles from destination, the old HiSpec 10,000 litre tanker’s Ukrainian tyre gave out. It was nearly dark on the Saturday night and had to park it and tractor up on the lay-by. The same lay-by that the Same conked out at a few months ago [it’s still...

Not sure if I'll be doing any ploughing this year but looking at changing to a per hour charge rather than per acre. That's for a 4f reversible at 16" on a 150hp tractor. Some fields I do you can do 1.5 acre per hour or even a little more. However more often than not I'm down at an acre or...

Currently running a Cousins 3m, 45 degree ring press on the front of our combi drill. We farm very light fluffy black fen land, the press does sink a little at times and I think causes auto steer problems! Considering switching to a Lynx DD, anyone any experience of these on light stuff? Would...

What’s the craic with these ploughs?What’s the D2 mean? I swore I’d never have another DP7 after changing to a LB85 ….. until prices for worn out old kit went silly. But now I’m looking for another plough for 135hp and DP7 look affordable. And with Diwdeswell MA100, 120 etc what’s the number...
